SBVS Events Update

[Guest guest]

Hello again, SBVS listserve members--

 

I hope you are having an enjoyable Summer!

For those folks who attended the Star Party

this past weekend, you all have experienced how

much fun SBVS events can be! The weather was

perfect, the skies were crystal clear, the Skyline Ridge

event location was ideal, and the food and company

were superb! Thanks to all who attended this event

for making it such a fun and enjoyable evening!

 

In the event that you were unable to attend the 7/13 Star Party--

SBVS will be holding another one on SATURDAY, AUGUST 10th.

The location for the event has been selected--but it will be kept a

" secret " for a little while...as I am in the process of obtaining the

necessary permits to allow SBVS members to camp-out at the site!

If you think that you would be interested in attending the next Star

Party on August 10th and would like to spend the night camping-out,

please send me a brief e-mail at beckerhead indicating that

you would like to participate so that I can get a rough headcount for

the number of campsites that SBVS has to secure. Please respond by

SUNDAY, JULY 21st, 2002, so that I will provide the total number to

the campsite directors.

In other SBVS news, here's an update from the most recent SBVS

planning meeting held at Memorial Park in Cupertino on Sunday, 7/7.

 

Much appreciation is extended to all who attended--

especially newcomers Dina H. and Dave O.--plus SBVS

'regulars' Dave P, Glenn R, Sarah K, and Robin G.

A job well done and much thanks to all!

10th: Vegy SP(#2): Whether you know a lot...a little...or nothing

at all about the Summer evening sky, this will be a good chance

to learn about the planets and stars above Northern California

while enjoying the company of fellow veggies for good

conversation...tasty vegy snacks...and perhaps a shooting star or

two. Although a telescope is nice, binoculars will do just

fine...and if all else fails, we will be doing mostly " naked-eye "

astronomy. Things will get under way at 7:30 PM (while we still

can see each other!) to give us all a chance to socialize...and as

the sun gradually sinks under the Western horizon, more of the

night sky will present itself to us.

 

Other recommended things to bring: portable chair, flashlight,

bug repellant, sweatshirt with hood, comfortable shoes with socks,

and layers of clothes to dampen any chill from the evening air.

Location TBA nearer to the date of the event. For further

information, please call Phil at (408)410-2186. So move over,

Orion-the-hunter...the veggies are coming!
